With an .htaccess file, you shall specify how the server that addresses the requests to your Internet sites should act a number of scenarios. This is a text file with directives that are performed when somebody tries to open your Internet site and what happens next is determined by the content of the file. For instance, you can block a particular IP address from opening the site, and the server will decline your visitor’s request, or you can redirect your domain name to some other URL, so the server may redirect the visitor to the new web address. Also you can use custom error pages or protect any part of your Internet site with a password, if you place an .htaccess file in the correct folder. Many popular script-driven apps, such as WordPress, Drupal™ and Joomla™, use an .htaccess file to work correctly.
